NEWS BRIEFS: Washington is keeping more families together
Since the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF) was formed in 2017, it has nearly cut the number of children in out-of-home care in half. In 2018, there were 9,171 children placed outside their homes, while this year that has shrunk to 4,971 out-of-home placements. This is largely due to the department's Thriving Families Initiative, which aims to provide support for families so children can remain home. "We know that supporting and collaborating with families by providing access to services and programs increases their number of protective factors, leading to better outcomes," DCYF Assistant Secretary Natalie Green said in an Aug. 14 news release. "Giving families the tools they need to thrive and safely parent means more children and youth remain safely at home." While placements in foster care or group homes have decreased significantly, the number of child abuse and neglect complaints — about 93,000 in 2018 and 92,000 in 2023 — received by DCYF has not significantly changed.

How Bad Will Washington’s Winter Be? Farmers’ Almanac Says…
When summer hits, all I hear from family members and friends is, “It’s too hot!!!”. Then, a couple of months later, when winter hits, all they say is, “It’s too cold!!!”. And in that rare time frame between the two extremes, I get, “It’s too pumpkin’...
Cool and unsettled into the weekend!
Most will see mainly sunny skies with a slight increase in temperatures as we head into the upper 80s and 90s Thursday. Areas with more cloud coverage, like Wenatchee and Moses Lake will see temperatures just slightly cooler in the low to mid 80s. Northerly winds are set to pick up for the northern mountains of Washington and Idaho, as well as the Columbia Basin as an area of low pressure deepens over southern Oregon and central Idaho. Wind gust of 25mph and RH of 25% or less will create the potential for elevated fire danger. As the low continues to trek inland Friday, the Inland northwest will see southerly winds usher in maritime air, producing cool air advection...a rare phenomenon for our area. What that means for us is a drop in temperatures and a rise in dewpoints and the potential for showers Friday evening and overnight into Saturday.
